Out On The Road
I have chosen this week’s poem for Rachel’s youngest son William. He is a great traveller and has recently been training in Tewkesbury so “Tewkesbury Road” by John Masefield seems appropriate.
Peace and Good Will
This week’s choice marks Christmas and its festivities. It is “Christmas, 1903” by John Masefield.
Love’s Gold Coin
This week’s choice is “The Word” by John Masefield.
Be You Merry, My Friends
This week’s choice is for all my friends but especially for Hazel, Kevin, Ian and Angela. It’s “Laugh and be merry” by John Masefield.
In the Spanish Seas
I’ve chosen John Masefield’s “Trade Winds” this week for a friend of mine who is sailing the Spanish seas this week.
The Merry Spring
This week’s choice is “The West Wind” by John Masefield, a poem that celebrates spring.
A Salt-Atlantic Chanty
This week’s choice is “A Valediction” by John Masefield which I chose from a book of his verse I found at Barter Books in Alnwick.
A Cargo of Diamonds
This week’s choice is “Cargoes” by John Masefield.
The Lonely Sea and the Sky
This week’s poem is a kind of coda to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
